Proceeding contribution from Lord Murphy of Torfaen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales).


Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales)

On the number of Welsh MPs, the Secretary of State will of course be familiar with the views of the Deputy Prime Minister, who has a great interest in the year 1832. She will probably recall that Wales had 32 Members in 1832 and a population of 1 million. The number of MPs has increased by only 8%, even though our population is now 3 million. Does she have any comments on that?
